There’s no denying batten façades are one of the hottest design trends right now – and in 2022 their popularity is only set to grow. With their natural warmth and beauty and their clean, elegant lines, battens can create an eye-catching statement feature on the front of your home or commercial building. 

Combining the beauty of the timber batten façade with the ease, durability and non-combustiblity of aluminium, DecoBatten® is shaking up the batten façade trend, making it bigger and better than ever. Choose from over 150 realistic DecoWood® timber grains and recreate your favourite timber look with long-lasting aluminium. DECO’s handy two-piece QuickClick™ system means you can easily and seamlessly install battens across any façade without a backing plate. 

With a range of sizes and shapes available, DecoBatten® allows for endless façade cladding possibilities. Choose your favourite styles or even mix and match sizes, shapes and colours to creat your dream façade. 

Here are some of our favourite DecoBatten® façade ideas for design inspiration: 

Combine battens with natural greenery

Timber and greenery go together like peas in a pod – so what better way to spruce up your design by adding a touch of green? Biophilic design is all the rage these days, so combining your beautiful timber façade with some plants or natural greenery can create a calming, harmonious space you and your guests will love.

Round and curved battens

Classic square and rectangular battens are spectacular – but a new trend for curved battens is emerging. Curved battens have their own character, and can add a different kind of personality to your design. DECO’s radius and tubular battens offer a rounder look for a softer, gentler aesthetic, ideal for coastal home façades.  

Carry your façade across the whole house

Who said a batten façade had to stop where the walls end? DecoBatten®’s easy QuickClick™ system and easy-install one-piece battens are designed with all manner of installations in mind, meaning you can carry the batten look across your windows or even over your garage door! Extending your battens across other areas of your home creates a seamless, synchronised design that screams elegance.

Wave Effects

Who says your façade battens have to all be the same size? Mix it up a little by combining different width or length battens, and create curved and wave effects on your walls for a standout feature. Create big or small waves, and even combine different shapes for a truly unique timber batten façade look. 

One of the best aspects of the timber batten façade is the ability to make it your own. With DecoBatten®, every possibility can become a reality.
